A TYPICAL DAY IN MULU
Each Mulu morning usually dawns with a clear sky and a temperature around 23 degrees.
By early afternoon the temperature has risen to about 34 degrees and 60% humidity; around 13:00 – 17:00 it will start raining and the humidity increases to 90%. Showers may last 30 – 60 minutes, but after the rain the air is cool and fresh, the evenings are usually fine.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please allow for a flexible itinerary and flights,to and especially from Mulu.
The Mulu weather is completely unpredictable and has a major influence over flights into and out of Mulu.
Allow sufficient time to make deadlines for important connecting flights or pre-booked activities, that are non-refundable or coupled to expiry dates.
PEAK SEASON
Bookings are essential
June, July, August, September and holiday periods are usually busier than other times of the year. We recommend that at all times you should make bookings for accommodation and guides in advance to avoid disappointment. Once the facilities are full and the guides booked then there is nothing we can do to help even though you have traveled a long way to visit.
MULU SURVIVAL KIT
Mulu is remote and isolated. Although we wouldn’t want it any other way, it does surprise some visitors that they just can’t pop down the shop and pick up something they forgot to bring along for their trek.
That means: NO banks, NO chemist, NO shopping centres!
Things you must consider to pack:
- Non-slip closed footwear
- Raincoat
- Torchlight
- Water bottle
- Insect repellent
- Hat/ Sweatband
- Cash (RM) – NO ATM’s
- Personal 1st aid kit/medicine
- Face mask – NO MASK, NO TOUR!
- Hand sanitizer
- Hand glove – for adventure caving or extreme tours
- Digi/Tone wow sim card for 4G signal
*Essential items *Personal PPE
Light clothing for tropical weather, a very light shawl or jacket for the evenings. If you do overnight treks you will need enough changes of very light clothing because of excessive sweating. Your clothes might also not get dry overnight. Only at Mulu summit will you need a warmer jacket and sleeping bag. Bedding for Camp 5 can be obtained from HQ for a refundable deposit. Mosquito nets can be rented at HQ.
Very sturdy trekking boots work well for Mulu Summit, but not so on the plank walks. For climbing the Pinnacles your best option will be rubber shoes (for sale in Mulu Gallery) or a softer non-slip shoe. (See essential list with Extreme Adventures)
